Selected works created between 2009-2014 as well as studio and exhibition images.
Most of my work from 2009-2014 that wasn’t collected has been destroyed primarily due to logistical studio/costs/storage. (I have some works on paper still). The large sculptural assemblages didn’t make it. Many of them had elements of heavy plaster, cement, portions of furniture and numerous found or personal objects from my family. I wanted to upload this history of my making to show the extent to which I have investigated the “Architecture of Gesture” over time and in painting, sculpture and photography, usually hybrids of all three. I finally got my old hard drive out to upload and shift through some of these images. I will slowly add captions. I included some paintings within these groupings as I have always worked on both paintings and sculptures at the same time, but most images of earlier paintings are under Paintings in Portfolio and I focused on assemblage and sculptural works here.
